In-season tournament

[edit]
Main article: 2024 NBA Cup

The NBA Cup, formerly the In-season tournament, will return for the 2024–25 season, with the same structure:[39][40][36]

  • All games except the championship final counting towards the regular-season standings.
  • Six intraconference pools of five (three pools per conference).
  • Tuesdays and Fridays during November and early December feature group games against each of the other teams in their pool (two at home and two on the road). These games still count as regular season games.
  • The winners of each pool (three teams per conference) and two wild-card teams (one team per conference) advance to a single-elimination tournament.
  • The semifinals and championship game will once again be played in Las Vegas.
  • Players for the tournament champion will receive prize money that is to be determined.
  • To compensate, the NBA's regular season scheduling formula was modified so only 80 games for each team were initially announced during the offseason. The first two rounds of the in-season tournament would then count as regular-season games 81 and 82. The championship game would then be an extra 83rd game that would not count toward the regular season. Teams that did not qualify for the in-season tournament knockout round, or were eliminated in the quarterfinals, would be scheduled additional games against other teams that were eliminated in the same conference (if possible) and round to reach 82 games.
  • T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada is scheduled to host the semi-finals and championship game for the second consecutive season.[41]

Media

[edit]

National

[edit]

Linear television

[edit]

This is the last season of a nine-year deal with the ESPN family of networks, TNT Sports, and NBA TV, before new 11-year deals with ESPN, NBC and Amazon Prime Video begin in 2025–26. The 2024–25 season thus marks the end of TNT airing NBA games since 1989 respectively, and TNT Sports' overall relationship with the league since 1984 on TBS.[51][52] The NBA has not yet made an announcement as to the fate of NBA TV, whether they will seek another party to replace TNT in operating the channel or just operate it in-house, or whether NBA TV will continue to offer live games (reports did show that it will air replays of games after this season)[53].

ESPN has Wednesday and Friday night games during most of the regular season, along with select Sunday games from February to April, and a Monday doubleheader on March 17.[54] TNT's schedule includes Tuesday night games during most of the regular season, and Thursday nights during opening week and the second half of the season.[55] NBA TV televises games when the other national broadcasters are not airing games.[56] ABC has NBA Saturday Primetime games on seven selected Saturdays between January and March (including a tripleheader on January 25), and NBA Sunday Showcase games on five selected Sunday afternoons in February and March.[54] ESPN/ABC and TNT may also feature simulcasts or alternative broadcasts of selected games on ESPN2 and TruTV, respectively.[57]

For the NBA Cup, TNT and ESPN has selected group stage games as part of their regular Tuesday and Friday coverage, respectively, while NBA TV has a tripleheader on Friday, November 29.[54][55][56] Coverage of the knockout stage will be announced at a later date.[58]

Five Christmas Day games are scheduled for this season. Originally, it was announced that only the middle three games would be ABC/ESPN simulcasts, and the first and last contests would only be on ESPN.[54] In October 2024, it was announced that all five games will be ABC/ESPN simulcasts like in 2022.[59]

Three Martin Luther King Jr. Day games are scheduled to be televised nationally, with NBA TV broadcasting one of them and TNT televising two. None of those games will air on primetime nationally on the holiday for the first time to avoid going up against the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship.[55][56]

TNT again have the NBA All-Star Weekend (except for the Celebrity game which continues to air on ESPN) for the 23rd and final year.[55]

On the final day of the regular season, Sunday, April 13, two games with playoff implications will be flexed into ESPN's afternoon doubleheader.[54]

Streaming

[edit]

This is the second, and last, season that the streaming service Max will have live access to TNT's games on its Bleacher Report Sports Add-on tier.[55]

NBA League Pass continues to offer out-of-market games, live access to NBA TV, and on-demand replays of every game.[56]

Local

[edit]

The Chicago Bulls, the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, MLB's Chicago White Sox, and Standard Media launched the Chicago Sports Network prior to the start of this season, replacing NBC Sports Chicago as their regional broadcaster.[60][61]

The Portland Trail Blazers and Root Sports mutually agreed to end their television agreement prior to the season.[62] On September 23, 2024, the Trail Blazers announced that they had signed a multi-year agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group to be their new broadcaster. Under the deal, KATU and KUNP were named as the flagship stations, the group of over-the-air stations carrying games across the team's broadcast territory was branded as the Rip City Television Network, and games stream locally on a new direct-to-consumer streaming service named BlazerVision.[63]

Altitude Sports and Entertainment, the television home of the Denver Nuggets, reached an agreement with Tegna Inc. to simulcast 20 games on KTVD in Denver. Select games are being simulcast on KUSA.[64]

Diamond Sports Group bankruptcy

[edit]
Further information: Diamond Sports Group § Bankruptcy

Diamond Sports Group, the parent company of the regional sports network chain FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports), has been under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since March 2023. As part of the bankruptcy, on August 23, 2024, Diamond Sports signed a long-term agreement with thirteen of the NBA teams that it holds rights to, committing to broadcast their games through at least the 2024–25 season, but with a 30 to 40 percent reduction in their rights fees. Despite being a long-term deal, if Diamond Sports is unable to get a bankruptcy plan approved by the court, the agreement will expire following the end of the season.[65][66]

Diamond also terminated its contracts with the Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans,[65][66] and both teams would sign with over-the-air broadcasters. The Mavericks signed a multi-year agreement with Tegna Inc. as their broadcaster, with KFAA (formerly KMPX) and WFAA as flagship stations.[67][68] Meanwhile, the Pelicans announced a new agreement with Gray Television, under which games will be broadcast by the new Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network, with WVUE-DT in New Orleans as flagship.[69]

On October 21, Bally Sports rebranded as FanDuel Sports Network, after Diamond ended its sponsorship agreements with Bally's Corporation and entered into a new agreement with online gambling company FanDuel Group.[70][71]

Notable occurrences

[edit]
  • On June 27, 2024, Bronny James was selected 55th overall in the 2nd round of the 2024 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Lakers. Being the son of current Lakers player LeBron James, they marked the first father-son duo to play together in league history.[72]
    • They would officially make their regular season debut together on October 22, 2024, in a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.[73]
  • On July 1, 2024, Jayson Tatum signed a five-year, $314 million contract extension with the Boston Celtics, the largest in league history.[74]
  • On July 24, 2024, the NBA announced that it has signed new 11-year media deals with the ESPN networks, NBC Sports and Amazon Prime Video that will begin in 2025–26,[52] rejecting TNT Sports' matching rights offer for Amazon's package. The NBA claimed TNT was unable to fully match the terms of Amazon's all-streaming contract. TNT subsequently filed a lawsuit against the league in a Manhattan New York state court, seeking to delay the new media deals from taking effect and to rule that TNT's offer matched Amazon's deal.[75]
  • The NBA cut the average back-to-back regular season games per team by 23 percent to help curb "load management", when teams rest more than one healthy star player on any given night. Teams no longer play four games in five nights, eight games in 12 nights, nor play on the day before or after "high-profile" nationally televised games.[76]
  • For the third consecutive season, the league did not schedule regular season games on Election Day in the United States, which will fall on November 5 in 2024.[1]
  • On October 22, 2024, the Boston Celtics tied the record for the most three-pointers made in a single game with 29 in a win over the New York Knicks.[77]
  • On October 22, 2024, LeBron James passed Kobe Bryant for the most field goals missed in NBA history.[78]
  • On October 25, 2024, LeBron James became the first player ever to record a triple-double in his 22nd season.[79]
  • On October 28, 2024, Kevin Durant became the 8th player to score 29,000 points.[80]
